Revue Studio gathered together a real nice cast for this Laramie episode. The Sioux are gathered and attacking the Sherman Stagecoach station because they are after Ross Martin, a Mexican bandit who stole some gold from them.
Martin who was one of the most chameleon like players ever, a talent best seen on The Wild Wild West as Artemus Gordon, is a most convincing Mexican bandit. I think only J. Carrol Naish could be rated better as someone who played more ethnic types on the big screen and small.
Holed up in the Sherman ranch house are among others driver Ben Johnson, and passengers Dick Foran, Mara Corday, Rachel Ames, and Robert Wilke. But the one you remember is young Kim Hector. It becomes all about saving his innocence. He's an orphan kid traveling with a name tag attached to him and one cynical view of life for someone still in single digits age wise. He will break your heart. Robert Fuller truly identifies with him.
A really nice story well told by a fine ensemble
